Actually I researched only the Advanced trader 4 so far and this question (except for the chapter 16 part) is exactly what I have been thinking about since I read about the new units. Yes and I reacted to an argument of yours that doesn't hold in my case. Since I managed to stockpile troops...

Yes, but I only have 85 Provinces on average and played all of those to at least 5 in 3/9 of the new tournaments. It matters to me, because I was part of this minority 5/9 times. Actually 8/9 times because I prefer stockpiling to battling a member of my own GM for the win. But the main reason...

If you play for KP, it is reasonable to stockpile troops instead of playing round 6. If you play for the tournament rank or ranking points it is reasonable to stockpile troops instead of playing more provinces once you are sure you will win the tournament. Might not be very common, but it happens.

Thats what I did - stopped after the first chapter 17 research, because stopping after the *** Frog was not possible anymore. And yes, the new tournament was fun - I managed to win 5 out of 9 and the worst result was 3rd place so far. My fellowship managed chest 19 every time with results even...

Con: The daily prices were not really impressive. A few useful prices here for my chapter 5 city, a few useful ones for my live chapter 8 city and nothing useful for my chapter 16 city. Overall I won all daily prices I wanted and in the end quite a few I don't need at all. Pro: I really liked...

My german fellowship so far made >200K points in all 3 tournaments. Before the change we scored high as well but only rarely that high. The main difference is that I don't see really low scores anymore, the scores of the the top tournament players haven't changed much. BUT manual fighting...

It is approximately 15%.

Everything except for Needles, Monastery, Shrooms, Flying Academy, Dragon Abbey, Toads, Victory Springs, Timewarp, Sapiens and possibly Heroes Forge and Abyss in my Chapter 16 city. Everything except for Abyss and Mountain Halls in my chapter 8 city (former wishing well city) because catering is...

Concerning AWs it is even worse. The positive effects of AWs are not hidden, they are communicated openly in game. Adding a hidden negative effect that diminishes the value of an AW is trickery. This is not only a problem for Elvenar but for the reputation of Inno as a company.

Actually it is theoretically possible that Inno comes up with some new cool techs for the next chapters and a complete rework of all wonders to deal with the problem of the broken SS formular. But if that should be the plan they should communicate it ASAP!

I didn't mean to say that it was Innos intention. My guess is that they did some number crunching on data that included the effect of the firephoenix and adjusted their penalties with the goal to balance things. That would explain why they penalize wonders (and at least for chapter 16 and 17...

The only way I can think of to keep SS as it is and lower research and AW penalties to a reasonable level in my live city would be the introduction of a penalty for my firephoenix. Is this a good idea? I doubt ist. But it shows that Innos mistakes with respect to the current SS calculation are...

Yes, it was part of a discussion starting at #1622 which was about my live city and I am indeed an endgamer there.

You have to follow the discussion backwards to the calculation including 504 hours of time boosters, if you want to find the victory springs!

The corresponding elvenar question was if building victory springs was worth it in the new system or not. The 3 queues exist with or without it.
